The digitally competent teacher is crucial for effective use of ICT in educational process. The adequate ICT content are therefore required for the training for pre-service teachers. However, the preparation of study contents should consider previous knowledge and skills of pre-service teachers or students who are now members of the so-called generation Z. Study contents should therefore fulfil two objectives: knowledge upgrade, and motivation for use of ICT in educational process. The study content of the course “ICT in education” at Faculty of Education comprise (1) production of multimedia elements, (2) production of learning materials, (3) learning materials distribution, (4) ICT implementation in the educational process.

The aim of our study was to get the better insight to the pre-service teacher’s assessment of topics’ popularity, estimations of achieved skills, and motivation for implementation of ICT in education. Our research sample consists of two generations of students of elementary education that attended the ICT in Education course. The two-year time gap is considered suitable to discover differences between generations because of the rapid development of ICT. We used online survey to collect the students’ estimations at five level scale and multiple choices questions responses. The data were statistically analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

The most popular topics are: practical implementation of ICT in the educational process, multimedia elements production and LMS (Learning Management System) Moodle. The ICT implementation and LMS become more popular in younger generation. The motivation for the implementation of ICT in the educational process and LMS is higher by younger generation of students. The production of multimedia elements is equally popular in both generation. The results shows the increased acceptance of ICT in education but the trends of forthcoming generations is the aim of future researching.
